If any person not being duly licensed shall sell any quantity less than two gallons of any spirituous liquors, wine, ale, or beer, whether the said quantity of two gallons shall be composed of the same liquor or of a variety of liquors, or shall permit the same to be sold by any other person in or upon his house or premises, or shall permit to be removed from his premises for the purposes of sale any quantity less than two gallons of one liquor at any one time, he shall forfeit and pay for every such offence the sum of fifty pounds, to be recovered in a summary way.

3 Commencement of Ordinance.

This Ordinance shall be taken as part of the Ordinance for regulating the sale of fermented and spirituous liquors, and shall come into operation from and after the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one.
